10 Terrible CGI Moments In Big Budget TV Shows
10. Teen Wolf - Transformations
Teen Wolf premiered in 2011 on MTV, and is loosely based on the 1985 Michael J. Fox classic of the same name.
Teen Wolf reviewed pretty well with critics, for the most part at least. While it wasn't without its controversies, it was generally respected and ran for six seasons and 100 episodes, coming to an end in 2017.
The effects of the original movie, while looking a little dated today, remain impressive, and so the TV reboot of sorts had a certain reputation to live up to. Should be easy, surely, given the technological advancements in CGI since the mid-'80s.
Somehow, Teen Wolf's transformation scenes are laughable. Even with the backing of a big player like MTV, it looks less like a human becoming a werewolf and more like a child's drawing coming to life every time a character transforms into their bestial alter-ego.
It did nothing to help the dark, dramatic tone of the show, and instead came off as jarring, cheap and really, really, bad.
